@@00000theoffical this video is very old. I dunno what the present state of their boxes or UI is.

@@Aeduo I still have a box with this ui in my guest bedroom it works fine still and I bought a Tivo stream and it had a option to keep this ui if I hooked it up with direct tv

@@00000theoffical ah neat. I'm not really nostalgic for it. That was kinda a bad time honestly and I'm probably a bit older so there's no real attachment to it like that. I would've been around 20.

@@PunmasterSTP yeah I guess like a marble. Basically just my excuse for not being able to draw a character.

@@Aeduo It's all good, and marbles are cool!

@@PunmasterSTP I don't know if the game will ever be finished. It's had some progress since this but it was on hold for a few months. It'll always be on GitHub though.

@@Aeduo That's cool.

Yeah it's certainly possible I misinterpreted how the order data was stored or a bug in my code caused it to be reassembled wrong. I wanted to get a version though that wasn't like, recorded through an analog output or through an emulator or other sort of audio system that would've maybe done some resampling.

@@Aeduo Yeah i kind of wonder if it was a kind of compression. Music elements stored in one file while another file says what order to string them together in, and how often to repeat them. Maybe something like that.

@@Margis6 you can check the script in the description. However it's not very useful without the original game files (probably can get from Macintosh garden or something though) and extracting them from the image (I don't remember if they're an hfs image or stuffit or something) and picking out the resource fork that the music is in. But yeah, my script could be misinterpreting something like I said. But yes, I do recall there is some compression that involves splitting up various sections of the song which repeat and deduplicates them.

With 16KB RAM I highly doubt it. Also to be fair I haven't even run this in hardware..

@@Aeduo 16K is pretty good for a machine made in the early 70s

@@DSHK-wb5cn pretty sure unix needs more though. Good for a home/hobbyist computer in the 70s. Not for a mainframe.

These were uploaded a while ago and I did mess them up to a degree. I remember being quite tired when doing them haha. I'm sure there have been better, more complete uploads since then. :p

Thanks. Haven't tested on real hardware though. I have it right here but I haven't gotten the flash cart for it working.

@@Aeduo I’ve never tried doing anything like that, but it would be neat to see how it works and work through it one day…

I haven't worked on that in a while. I hope to eventually get back to it but I have other projects that are a bit less ambitious that I'm also neglecting but would like to get done at some point.

@@Aeduo I gotcha; totally understandable.

The emulator is one I found looking around. I don't really know what it's called honestly. The zip file was mk90emex. I've seen the source code to it around but it was written in Pascal and I didn't feel like figuring out building that. The game itself running In the emulator was written in assembly, yeah.

I'd guess Cinemax hd? But no idea honestly.

Might be "cartoon network east"

@@greenjackhammers764 it's a possibility but I was already east coast and I don't remember it being separately indicated.

@Aeduo Well at least for Disney Channel I get "Disney Channel East" and "Disney Channel West"

@@greenjackhammers764 I do remember there being stations with that but yeah this was a looooooong time ago.

Dunno. I haven't looked in to it.

It's in the title but I doubt these work with the service anymore if you were to find one. This was over 10 years ago. I also recall they ran hot and tended to spontaneously die, if not start on fire.

@@Aeduo thanks, I’m so stupid 😑

Yeah it was a decent capture box for the time. It had a lot of crashy firmware bugs though.

Don't remember one but that was over 10 years ago so I don't remember. There might've been one and I just turned it off or something.

@@Aeduo I was looking around and I think the sound I remember was the Tivo sound

@@Evil_Pixl that was a distinctive sound. I never had a tivo though. It was most popular while I was younger and we didn't have it, and by the time I was old enough, hard disk recorders were just a normal thing you could get. Nowadays I don't have cable at all though.

@@Aeduo the TiVo sound effects were all really good

@@Evil_Pixl this is a piece of history I missed out on I guess. :P

The network logo on the epg doesn’t update the day logos change for reasons.

Yeah it’s weird. Once time went went to Atlanta Georgia and the guide still had the 2004 logo, IT WAS 2017.

With the logo used from 2004-2010

Shut up

why not?

Same

​@@RaysGamingChannel2003 same here also.

what does this even have to do with 2014

I never bothered but it doesn't have any dependencies aside from the standard C runtime so it should just compile through mingw or something. Might even compile in visual studio.

@@Aeduo I don't have any of those programs. Is there something light I can use to compile this so can do some video now decoding. Also watching this video on my phone isn't that bad but it looks horrible on my PC. I suppose anti aliasing would smooth the video out.

@@coondogtheman Mingw isn't particularly heavy but it might be a little large. I don't know of other compilers for windows. I know there are others but none i'm familiar with.

@@Aeduo I'm not worried about HD space or cpu I just don't want to have to download a program that is a trial version. If it's large that's ok. I have a pretty decent PC.

@@coondogtheman mingw is free and i believe visual studio has a free personal edition as well.

I don't have any color discs. I did this because I happened upon a disc at a thrift store and was curious what was out there and found some tools that didn't work particularly well and figured out what they were doing and wrote my own. The color discs are supposedly quite a bit more complicated, employing some sort of video compression, so I don't know if I could.

@@Aeduo I have a few wav files from the color discs I could send you. It sounds like the audio and video is kind of mixed together in the stream. That is just from hearing it. The disc spins twice as fast as a normal CD. I loaded one of the wav files up in my goldwave editor and put the playback speed at 2.00 and the audio was faint but it played at the right speed. It was the bowling for soup 1985 music video disc.

@@Aeduo as for the tools I found them too but they didn't work for me either. I'd like something where you put the disc in and the program will either just play It so you can watch the video or you can rip a copy to a digital file. Maybe even rip just the audio.

@@coondogtheman If you can somehow get those to me I could maybe see what I can do but I couldn't make any promises, otherwise I don't really have much interest in making a full on media player or anything like that, just something that gives you just enough to convert them one time.

@@Aeduo I sent a link to the videonow color intro track. Also I tried following some instructions online on you to compile the decoder. I do have some DOS/command line experience. I got a bunch of errors but it's probably too big for a comment.

Yes but the audio is highly quality!
